Finding cheap gas in Austin (78717)
Avery Ranch and Brushy Creek define 78717, a master-planned slice of far northwest Austin that actually sits in Williamson County, so it is taxed and served under that county rather than Travis. The 183A toll road runs along the western edge, with Parmer Lane and Brushy Creek Road threading through the subdivisions.
Because this is family suburb territory, nearly 4,000 homes in Avery Ranch alone, the fuel concentrates at the retail nodes where the major roads cross: around the 183A and Parmer corridors and the shopping centers serving the neighborhoods. Grocery and big-box fuel at those nodes typically posts the best prices.
Commuters here head south toward downtown or to the tech offices around The Domain, and many fill up on the way out along Parmer or the toll road. Deeper inside the residential streets the pumps disappear, so plan to refuel at the corridor stations rather than expecting one around the corner.

How to save more on gas in Austin
1. Use warehouse clubs
Costco and Sam’s Club typically price 15-25 cents per gallon below nearby stations. Membership pays for itself within a few fill-ups.
2. Fill up early in the week
Stations often raise prices Thursday for weekend demand. Fill up Monday through Wednesday to avoid the lift.
3. Keep tires properly inflated
Properly inflated tires improve fuel economy by up to 3 percent at current prices. Check pressure once a month.
4. Check back tomorrow
Prices can shift 10-20 cents overnight during volatile markets. A quick check before you leave home avoids paying yesterday’s spike.
5. Pay cash at split-pricing stations
Stations with cash and credit split pricing typically save an average of 10 cents per gallon when you pay cash.

About gas prices in Texas
Texas runs one of the lowest gas tax rates in the country at 20 cents per gallon, and its location next to the Gulf Coast refining belt (which produces roughly 40 percent of US refined fuel) keeps prices consistently below the national average. Buc-ee's, Costco, and Sam's Club draw the cheapest pump prices across Houston, Dallas, Austin, and San Antonio metros, while HEB Fuel and Kroger Fuel are competitive grocery options. Watch for noticeable Friday afternoon hikes in Houston, Dallas, and Austin during peak summer driving season, when local demand briefly outpaces supply.
